The UK's Titan Airways, which currently provides bespoke charter for between one and 204 passengers, is celebrating a "milestone year" with the acquisition of a travel company and a Boeing 767-300ER.

Titan Airways md Gene Wilson says: "Our first wide-bodied Boeing 767-300ER aircraft is due to arrive in December this year. With a maximum range of approximately 6,000 nm it will be capable of long-haul operations such as London to Denver, or London to Vancouver direct. The aircraft will have 265 leather seats."

Titan has purchased the Satellite Travel Group which has offered seat-only charter flights for more than 25 years. "Through STG we will actively sell flights to popular ski airports such as Chambery, the gateway to the French Alps, as well as launching new destinations." The deal gives Titan, which is marking its 21st birthday this year, a new dimension in its aviation activity, he adds.
